Any metal chimney that carries a UL 103 compliance
designation may be used with your FireRock fireplace and
chimney system.
A conversion adapter must be available from the metal
chimney manufacturer and all necessary components,
including, but not limited to, firestops, wall spacers,
and insulating parts, must be utilized as required by the
manufacturer.
A firestop is required wherever a chimney passes between
one zone of a building to another (e.g., when passing through
a ceiling into an attic area). In each instance, there must be a
sealed area around the chimney to avoid creating a chaseway
allowing a fire to penetrate the attic or in between floors.
Failing to include firestops between floors may result in a fire
or explosion, causing property damage, personal injury, or
loss of life.
Refer to the metal flue manufacturer for framing dimensions
and assembly instructions. FireRock does not manufacture
these components and therefore defers to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
All local building codes must be adhered to.
Refer to metal flue manufacturer for number of offsets,
approved chimney shrouds, clearance to combustibles and
any other information specific to that flue system.
This fireplace has not been tested for use with a chase above
the roof. Installing a chase above the roof may result in a fire
or explosion, causing property damage, personal injury, or
loss of life.
